Howl Campfires R4 MKII

Yes, the Howl Campfires R4 MKII is UL certified, which allows it to be used in many areas where traditional wood-burning fires are restricted. However, you should always check local regulations for your specific campsite or region before lighting it.

With a 62,000 BTU output, this unit provides significant, consistent warmth that rivals a substantial wood fire. Because it is gas-powered, you get that heat instantly without the smoke or the need to manage logs.

No, the R4 MKII features integrated reflector shields that keep the base cool. This design prevents the unit from scorching the ground or grass beneath it, making it safe for most campsites.

It is engineered specifically for extreme environments. The high-output burner system is designed to maintain a steady, realistic flame even in high winds and rain that would typically extinguish a standard portable fire pit.

You can expect between 6.5 and 10 hours of burn time on a standard 20lb propane tank, depending on your heat settings. This makes it efficient for multi-day trips without needing to carry extra fuel.

At 27 pounds, it is substantial but manageable. It is built with durable materials like 304 stainless steel and aircraft aluminum, so while it isn't a lightweight backpacking stove, it is compact enough to easily transport in a vehicle for car camping or overlanding.
